Oh yeah.

Clearly the caffeine hadn't kicked in when I read that !

I am feeling bad for you folks with large IT balances.
2 Del-SXR return in IT business = 64k miles

About 15k. Only good for BLR-HYD or MAA or something similar. They are repeatedly cancelling flights, so it is tough to book anything.

Only 6K thankfully. Wish there was a way to transfer it out to something useful but too late for that now..

150K - most of it through Amex spends.

I called Amex yesterday and checked on the viability of the Kingfisher Amex card and they told me that if I chose another card, the Kingfisher card would get automatically cancelled. I asked if there are any offers on and the answer was no.

Anybody converted their card to a different one and got any offers?

86k Miles.

Unfortunately.. I kept accumulating Miles on Emirates/BA to King program... with a thought of taking a nice tour around India. My dreams may be a bit overcasted right now.

Finally it happened, on AoI forum too. I had raised the point in Mileage Run deals forum that AI (for all inclusive) was confusing as it could also mean Air India.

Showing tons of options these days; am inclined to burn out my tiny set of 22k miles on DEL-BOM RT Y. How reliable are they on this sector these days? Did you travel already?

just flew bom-del yesterday....the flight was on time but the aircraft condition was terrible....torn & dirty seats, torn carpet, no drinks offered (except water) for the duration of the flight, meal option was veg or non-veg biryani (which surprisingly was good)....the flight was full though which i guess is a good sign for kingfisher....

As I mentioned in a different thread, I flew PNQ-DEL on Monday and the food offering on a flight leaving at 11.30 was a sorry looking roll with a mystery filling. When I asked what it was, all the FA could say was "It's a burger sir, a burger". Be thankful for your biryani! Drinks were limited to those thimble sized bottles of water.

The flight routing was odd too. We essentially flew west to Mumbai and then north following the usual BOM-DEL track.

Keyser, did you get a boarding pass with a white sticky dot on it? Beneath the dot there's the Oneworld logo!
